capping TT from the BB to isolate.

hobbsmann · #1 06-09-2005, 02:24 AM

so through 20 hands SB has stats of 100/57 and even though the sample size is pretty small I say it fairly safe to say he is a LAG. the original raiser is unknown.

My question for this hand was what you guys think about capping pf in hopes to isolate the maniac. Also how about the flop raise.

Preflop: FatChicksKT is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $2.
4 folds, CO (poster) checks, Button raises, SB 3-bets, FatChicksKT calls, CO folds, Button calls.

Flop: (10 SB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB bets, FatChicksKT raises, Button calls, SB calls.

Turn: (8 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, FatChicksKT checks, Button bets, SB calls, FatChicksKT folds.

thanks.

I'm capping preflop and not folding the turn.

really I felt like my flop raise was kind of a feeler and if button cold calls my plan was to check fold the turn. What hand can I really be ahead that button would cold call with?

You're probably not going to be able to isolate, but I'd still raise here for value. Your hand is more often than not better than your opponents'.

Bet the turn. You have a decently-high club and neither opponent has yet to show significant strength.

Cap it because you likely have the best hand, welcome the Button in with open arms.

I think that capping pf doesn't make the button to fold.

The flop is fine imo, raise to try force the button out. We have ten high flush draw in turn and getting 10 BB. I would call. but I am terrible with flushes lower that A or K [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I mean it seems that I am calling too much with lower flushes

Kcx, Qcx, J9, mid pockets with a club...You'd be surprised what these donks will play.

Capping preflop seems like an easy raise for value. Also keep in mind the SB isn't on normal 3-betting standards right now, he knows Button is a maniac and is 3-betting any playable hand to isolate him, maybe even some hands he usually doesn't play.

Yes, I'd like to see cap. I think you played the flop and turn perfectly.

But I also misread the action. The flop looks good. I'm tyring to see the river.
